I don't know about ya'll, but I love, love, love to write stories. :love: I thought it would be cool to have a thread where us authors can talk about our story ideas and share our little pieces. I'm sure some of ya'll have some awesome stories that we'd all love to read. Anything goes, from fan fiction to orignal poetry!

Personally, I do a lot of fan fiction writing, some of which are on different websites. When I'm bored, the first place I go is my computer to write stuff, until my mom kicks me off, then I go to the piano. :teeth: I'm also working on an original story that involves my own make-believe world that I created. So far, though, I haven't gotten very far.

Nice :goodvibes:, I create stories just for my fiance, he loves the battle times back in the day where candles were the only way to light the night, when you ate with your hands and education was a thing for kings.

I only write stories when instructed to.
However, I love to read! I read Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix in two days. The book is 870 pages. The school librarian gets really mad because she doesn't think I actually read the books.

I'm with you, CaptainBrain, I love to read. I bounce around from book to book and annoy my best friend to death. She has to finish one book before she starts on another. I think right now I'm working on Sherlock Holmes, Eldest, If I Never Get Back, and The Historian...all at once. :teeth: I don't read Harry Potter though, something about those books just bothers me.

That's understandable HorsePrincess. My friend doesn't read them because of the same reason. :)

A few of my friends believe that.
My Mom started reading the books to me so she could find out if it really did teach Witchcraft. She didn't find any in it. But, I understand if you don't want to read it. My friend Emily believes it teaches Witchcraft. I have no problem with her believing it, she doesn't have to read it.
Just my opinion, it doesn't mean much, lol.

I think it's just for fun, showing the magical side of fairy tales. It's no different from cinderella's fairy god mother.

Ah the Da Vinci Code.
I have not yet acquired it for my collection. Where can I buy it?

I bought it from double day book club, you can find it at your local book store. It's very..graphic.

She said she found the Name Baudelaire, from a Series of Unfortunate Events, and Nicolas Flammel from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
Marypops, is that true?

well a big bump up because of the da vinci code
i haven't finished reading i think i'm over halfway now though and there are mentions to disney in the book especially a page about walt disney being described as the "modern Leonardo Da Vinci" and talks about hidden symbolism in the disney movies which i decided to look up about but only found sites about nothing on the topic and something about Walt Disney mind controlling people with his movies and parks which i had no idea what it was all sabout and confused me
anyway it says:
Throughout his entire life, Disney had been hailed as "the Modern-Day Leonardo da Vinci." Both men were generations ahead of their times, uniquely gifted artists, members of secret societies, and, most notably, avid pranksters. Like Leonardo, Walt Disney loved infusing hidden messages and symbolism in his art. For the trained symbologist, watching an early Disney movie was like being barraged by an avalanche of allusion and metaphor.
Most of Disney’s hidden messages dealt with religion, pagan myth, and stories of the subjugated goddess. It was no mistake that Disney retold tales like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White—all of which dealt with the incarceration of the sacred feminine. Nor did one need a background in symbolism to understand that Snow White was a clear allusion to the downfall of Eve in the Garden of Eden. Or that Sleeping Beauty’s Princess Aurora was the Grail story for children. The Little Mermaid was a spellbinding tapestry of spiritual symbols so specifically goddess-related that they could not be coincidence.
When Langdon had first seen The Little Mermaid, he had actually gasped aloud when he noticed that the painting in Ariel’s underwater home was none other than seventeenth-century artist Georges de la Tour’s The Penitent Magdalene fitting decor considering the movie turned out to be a ninety-minute collage of blatant symbolic references to the lost sanctity of Isis, Eve, Pisces the fish goddess, and Mary Magdalene.
yeah i took away bits from it which might destroy the plot of the book i guess
or it might i don't know i just found it interesting

i can't fin the messages it's just in the book (oh and one of the main characters is a symbologist) i think you should read the book instead of watching the movie because you'll find out why if you read it
oh and the alast supper painting is a main part of the book and shows a picture of the holy grail (which i won't say since it will ruin the whole plot)
oh and i went on a website dedicated to it and i found this things about modern mistakes in the book then it said spoilers ahead which i thought wouldn't matter because i've already read the part which it was about and then turns out to say where the holy grail was which i didn't like because i wanted to find out on my own so now i know to always trust spoiler warnings

I was totally sucked into DaVinci Code and can't wait to see the movie....except for Tom Hanks' hair....that I don't want to see. I thought it was a great thriller and kept me reading it on the edge of my seat. I might have to read it again before the movie comes out. I don't think I fully understood the ending because I was younger...maybe now I will get it.

if it's not a good book that i was to take in slowly and enjoy every letter i can usually read a page every two seconds(depending on how big it is)
My Ex-Girl Friend was a book nut, like me...
She said she found the Name Baudelaire, from a Series of Unfortunate Events, and Nicolas Flammel from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
Marypops, is that true?

Nice! I wish I had that gift for creative writing but I always have perpetual writers block! Poems I'm okay at but not long stories...or even short stories for that matter.

We had to read Catcher in the Rye for my english class and I was surprised to find that I LIKED it. It was just my sense of sarcastic humor! It was also interesting what my teacher told us about the author and how he is like...in hiding and refuses to be in the public eye. For all we know he could be dead.
Dun Dun Duh!
I'll be pretty bored over the summer so I would love some book suggestions!

I love to write stories. I write stories sometimes about how I'm feeling or sometimes how I think about things. My dream is to be a writer someday. I have already had my work published into a few magazines and a big book of stories. I will give you a little part of the storyI worte that got entered in that big book of stories. This is not my best work though. I had to make it less than two pages which was really hard. Here is the beggining of the story I wrote called twins:
“Hi, my name is Ashley, and this is my twin sister Cecilia but, she likes to be called C.C. We are perfect twins and I will tell you how that happened.” “Why do you get to do all the talking? I want to tell you why we are not perfect twins.” Said C.C. It all started when we were nine, we entered a twins contest. We got to wear our favorite thing, dresses.” Said Ashley
“Actually, I wanted to wear Jeans but, dad insisted we wear dresses.” Said C.C “Then we got to recite a beautiful poem.” Said Ashley. “I thought that poem was dumb. Who cared about a pirate and the sea? I would rather be home watching Full house. Their was a marathon that day and I missed it.” Said C.C “Of course we won, and got a trophy, that we both enjoyed” said Ashley
“I wish the trophy was made up of chocolate because I was hungry.” Said C.C “In our mansion we have a butler named Bob” said Ashley “I thought his name was always barbarian, I mean he eats like a pig. Anyways we have a dog, which always is playing in the mud. When he comes inside he shakes in front of Ashley. I have always told him to do that.” Said C.C
If you like it I can post the rest of it but for now I will just post this 9I don't want to make my post TOO long and bore you
